Back to reality!

After completely neglecting my beloved blog I have decided to start blogging twice a week from now on, I may even decide to blog on certain days but we'll see!

After a very sunny, eventful holiday I have decided to try and reintroduce some order and routine into my busier than ever life! But this is what I call living!

I am starting to become more proactive rather than spending time laying around when I get home from work as I've learnt there's not enough hours in the day! For example tonight when I got home I spent time with my family, went for a run because it makes me feel so much better and allows me to clear my mind, then I showered and made my dinner (sweet potato, cheese & beans!) I am now writing this blog post and just catching up on social media.
A pre run selfie, believe me I was so sweaty after

Although I decided not to broadcast my GCSE results on Facebook I wanted to share the fact that I am so proud of them, after putting in so much time to revise and dealing with exam nerves- I did it! 2 A*'s, 2 A's, 1 B, & 4 C's! Yay, what you put in really does pay off! When mum told me my results over the phone (as I was on holiday) I was literally so happy.

I am starting the gym when pay day comes round so I will keep you updated with progress and how I get along, as well as my running that I started again today!
I am sorry for the random holiday photos scattered throughout this blog post, it's just me sharing holiday pics and my thoughts at the same time!

On my holiday my good luck struck and my brand new go-pro broke, it has filled with water despite being 'fully waterproof' so all the good footage got deleted, including the video of me jumping off the big rock and cutting my toe- all for the vlog...and because my 5 year old half brother did so I kind of had to!


This is a cool picture that I saved from the Go pro footage! I think it's pretty cool, hence why I'm only exchanging the broken go pro and not taking it back!

So after a little catch up and my first blog post in almost a month I will leave it here, my next blog post will be a proper one and not just my jumbled thoughts!

Home from Holland!

long time no blog! So after shortly returning from my holiday to Volendam in Holland I thought I would catch up with you and share a few photos that I've taken, If you've been watching my vlogs on my new YouTube channel Life of a Blonde then you will have seen what I've been up to and how beautiful it was there!

Over the week I saw so many beautiful and authentic places: windmills and gorgeous harbours as well as experiencing the buzzing, alive city of Amsterdam. Volendam itself is such a cute little fishing town filled with lovely harbours, cafes and many bikes! I would love to live there with a view of the beach and just bike everywhere, especially on this bike (my personal fave)
The first day we visited some beautiful windmills, if you ever visit Holland (near volendam/Amsterdam) then make sure you go to Zaanse Schans windmills, especially if you're into photography.
They're surrounded by water, you can even get a boat around them, it is so peaceful here.

Before visiting here I had never really been close to a windmill and when I was close to them I realised how much I love watching them go round...weird? Probably.

We also found a little gem of a place, like I said in one of my vlogs- my new favourite place in Holland. It is so beautiful and tranquil there and the lighthouse...

We hired some bikes and had a leisurely ride down to this little beach, we loved it here so much we visited twice!


One of my favourite things about this place is the little lighthouse, how cute!?

We all braved it and went into the sea, as it was about 25 degrees it was just bearable but once we had all adapted to the cool temperature we had so much fun!

Another thing I loved about Holland was the houses; each one backed onto a harbour and consisted of so much detailing and colour! I could live there!
I loved everything about this holiday: the people, the houses, the atmosphere and the scenery.

If you are ever considering going anywhere in the Netherlands, DO NOT hesitate, there's so much more than just sea and sand there and it is so beautiful to explore!

If you want to see more of my holiday then be sure to check out my brand new YouTube channel- Life of a Blonde 

That's all for today and I will be back soon with another post!
